determination of going to sleep, and
with another determination that he

the door and deposited his lamp upol
the dressing-table, he commenced his
speech:
IL locked the front-door. l put the

Mr.. jenkins felt that he had hedged
against all inquiry, and triumphant
smile was upon his face as he took
hold of the gas-check. and sighted a

query from Mrs. jenkins:
